My Sewing Bee final outfit

So there you have it. Your 2016 Sewing Bee winner is Charlotte! Congratulations darling!

Charlotte was a funny and witty character and very skillful. Giving her a hug was heaven because her hair always smelled nice and were ever so soft. I am really pleased for her and her family.

The final was emotional for all of us and we all shed tears, reminiscing over the experience we lived.

I had a few questions and comments about my outfit that day.
I am reporting here a few of those questions with their answers:

Did you make that? Yes. I think most of us wore something we made to film the final. Some were just hot off the sewing machine at home, that same afternoon!

You like pleats don’t you? (I had them in my alteration and made-to-measure challenges on week 1) Yes I do. A well pleated skirt is more flattering that a gathered skirt in my opinion. In Martinique we like the bum lift a pleat gives you. No need for plastic surgery to get a J-Lo rear end. I agree, however, it is a little trickier at the front.

You like pattern matching? I find pattern matching an enjoyable challenge, like a puzzle. Completing a successful match puts a huge smile on my face and gives me a sense of accomplishment before the garment is finished and pushes me to finish the rest of it to a high standard.

Do you like pink? I don’t actually but I like it combined with other colours. I find it is a great combination with grey, silver, green, red, orange, certain shades of blue. Not a big fan of black and pink. What pink combination do you have for me?

What pink combination do you have for me? There is a giveaway in it so pick wisely!

I am giving away 1 m and 1 x 0.50m, total of 1m50 of the fabric of my Sewing Bee final outfit. The best pink combination in the comment section wins it.

I don’t like pink on its own- asachild I was given a pink jumper which I wore a lot as we didn’t have many clothes, the result being I got more pink as everyone thought I like pink and I looked like a boy so they thought pink would help with that error!

I know what you mean Tracey! I don’t like pink on its own. I have a blog post to come soon on the pink theory and the gender stereotype. Watch out for that. It looks like you had a pink overdose as a child. I bet you don’t wear any pink now. There is always purple, the grown up alternative to pink 😉

Gorgeous dress Ghislaine! Such a tropical sorbet! I don’t have a pink combination to share with you…but had to tell you I love that dress 🙂
And I was emotional watching the final – what a lovely bunch of people you all are x
